Field notes
The displayed example compares a Hood River station reading of 21g27 with a model reading of 19g24 and gives a 13:00–19:00 next-good window. The verdict rules specify thresholds for storm risk, gusts and model disagreement, while the page says missing inputs are disclosed rather than guessed. It also describes a 48-hour map and an alert preview based on the prior 30 days.
